British Colonel Arthur Freemantle; The Englishman at Gettysburg:

 LT COLONEL ARTHUR FREMANTLE AT GETTYSBURG 1863 - Magazine Article - Old Magazine Articles    "Arthur James Lyon Frementle (1835 – 1901) was an unofficial British observer of the Battle of Gettysburg. Holding the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Coldstream Guards, Fremantle's decision to travel to North America in order to witness the American Civil War was entirely his own. He accompanied the Army of Northern Virginia on their march north to Gettysburg, where he transcribed much of what he witnessed in his diary:

" 'At 4:30 P.M., we came in sight of Gettysburg, and joined General Lee and General Hill, who were on the top of one of the ridges which form the peculiar feature of the country around Gettysburg. We could see the enemy retreating upon one of the opposite ridges, pursued by the Confederates with loud yells."

" "The position into which the enemy had been driven was evidently a strong one. His right appeared to rest on a cemetery, on the top of a high ridge to the right of Gettysburg, as we looked at it."

The editor's of Civil War Times were good enough to point out that while Fremantle was in Gettysburg, he would most likely have been attired like the gent pictured here.

The Mad Monarchist: A Queen's Soldier at Gettysburg  . . ."The British colonel was thus very happy to board a ship back to Great Britain where he went on to a long and illustrious military career. His tour of the south made him admire the skill and determination of the Confederates, civil and military, and he predicted that the Confederacy must emerge victorious from the war. However, he was an honest observer and did not hesitate to mention spectacles which he found very disagreeable such as the sight of a slave auction in progress. Although sympathetic toward the Confederacy he was a fair-minded and impartial observer in a conflict that was to have immense repercussions. The general cause of monarchy was effected by the outcome, directly and indirectly. The defeat of the Confederacy spelled certain doom for the struggling Empire of Mexico and the rise of a re-United States as a major world power, inclined toward republicanism and often prejudiced against monarchy would mean many changes in the future as the New World came to play an ever larger role in the Old.". . .

Slowly Walk Back Like Homer Simpson Into The Bushes’: Ben Shapiro Notes Dems Backing Away From Stolen Election Claims

 ‘The Daily Wire 

"Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro pointed out on Thursday that Democrats, eager to do President Biden’s bidding, are now divided about whether to support claims of elections stolen from Democrats or to move away from whining about election results since Biden has targeted Republicans who believe the 2020 election was stolen."

"Democrats have claimed after the 2016 that former President Trump was an illegitimate president and also claimed Stacey Abrams had been denied her status as the rightful governor of Georgia.

"Shapiro noted the division among Democrats. “This provides some weird sort of crosscurrents for Democrats,” he noted. “You see a sort of bizarre mix of Democrats doubling down on, ‘Yeah, those elections were stolen’ and also trying to slowly walk back like Homer Simpson into the bushes their old positions about elections being stolen.”. . .

"Sept. 11, 2001, set the stage for a new “global war on terror” launched by former U.S. President George W. Bush. The United States military and its allies set out to eliminate al-Qaida terrorist network harbored by the Taliban in Afghanistan in a costly war that ended last year with the United States withdrawing its troops and the Taliban taking control of the county. ". . .

9/11 'miracle' babies, now turning 21, were lifesavers for families (nypost.com)

. . ."These “miracle” babies are all grown up — turning 21 and reflecting on their solemn birthday, Sept. 11, 2001, when they saved their dads’ lives.

"The babies were busy being born that tragic morning, ensuring that their fathers would not be in their downtown offices at the heart of disaster.

"Instead of crossing the bridge connecting the World Trade Center to his CIBC Oppenheimer office at the World Financial Center, Steve Condos was at NYU Medical Center with his wife, Marika, who went into labor three weeks early. Their son, Reggi, was born at 9:23 a.m. — 36 minutes before the first tower collapsed.". . .

On Biden

 

Americans are fed up with Biden and a majority want him impeached.   

. . ."However, if Republicans do become the majority and they do have even a little burning ember in their collective bellies, there are a lot of grounds for impeaching Biden. A year ago, Reps Bob Gibbs (Ohio), Andy Biggs (Arizona), Brian Babin (Texas), and Randy Weber (Texas) filed articles of impeachment. They based the articles on Biden’s lawless conduct on our southern border and his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which involved abandoning American citizens and billions of dollars in weapons and equipment. Ted Cruz would add to the list Biden’s lawless vaccine mandates. Our own Ed Brodow also adds there’s the evidence from Hunter Biden’s laptop showing decades of unlawful influence peddling, the destruction of America’s energy sector, Biden’s illegal racial discrimination, and his using the DOJ and FBI to attack his political opponents.

"In other words, if Republicans can summon even a modicum of courage, a majority (yes, a small one, but still a majority) of the American people will be behind them if they impeach Biden. It’s true, of course, that Kamala will be as bad as Biden himself. Still, it is important for the rule of law to call Joe Biden to account for his many damaging, illegal, unconstitutional, and even treasonous actions against America and her people."

Fiery But Mostly Peaceful ‘Dark Brandon’ › American Greatness  . . ." To his credit, Biden wasn’t characterizing all Republicans as traitors. Just those who might dare to put up any kind of meaningful resistance to himself and his political party. So-called “mainstream” Republicans, by whom Biden means liberal Republicans who do what Democrats tell them to do, are fine. 

"No American president has ever spoken in such an openly hostile way about his fellow citizens. But Biden’s divisive language is music to leftist ears. In Biden, they have found an authoritarian who is willing to crush people who disagree with them, or as they put it, “fascists.' ” . . .

9/11: What Do Americans Actually Know About This Terrible Day?

Pamela Geller

"Twenty-one years on, and where are we? What do our children know about 9/11 and the Islamic terrorists who attacked our country in the worst attack on our homeland in American history? In a word, nothing. Or worse.

"Why did the attackers do this? Discussing their motive today, twenty-one years later, is tantamount to a hate crime. The jihadis’ last letters have all but been scrubbed from the public record.

"Read the “martyrdom” letters left by the Muslim terrorists. Allah is mentioned over ninety times. “Remind your brothers that this act is for Almighty Allah,” done for the cause of advancing Islam.

"Before the attack, one of the Muslim terrorists who struck our nation on September 11, 2001 wrote: “When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers. Allah said: ‘Strike above the neck, and strike at all of their extremities.’”

"But how many American schoolchildren know or understand that the attackers were Islamic jihad terrorists? How many know what a jihad is, or what the objective of the 9/11 attacks was?". . .
